The Element of Surprise Lyrics

There's a set of rickety stairs
In between my heart and my head
And there ain't much that ever bothers going up them
Here we go at it again
And once it's started it's so tricky to stop
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I'd forgot
You've got me loosening up my grip on the plotAnd It feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
You'd got a look in your eyes
As you snuck in the sideAnd the place I thought I was at
Hasn't yet invited me back
The trouble with the chase is it's so easy
To crash
Why color in the lines if you're just painting
It black?I thought they were kisses but apparently
Not
Do you end all your messages with an 'X marks the spot'?
Just let me know when you want your socks

Knocking off
